    White’s on!

    So hopefully, final primer time! So far it’s looking good.

    I have met my modeling limitations. ☹️ These damned blast deflectors are just too small for my skills to attach them. My smallest tweezers require a grip that makes me shake too much, not enough glue surface for them to grab and hold, so they would most likely wind up falling off anyway. I’m bummed.

    Wow. Lots of history right there.

    LOL! I know the feeling with my Tamiya Thunderbird kit. I feel guilty asking what they are selling for on eBay so I won’t sell it, don’t want to build it because it’s worth a lot, but at the same time, I want to build it just because. A real modelers/kit collectors conundrum!

    Nice find!!

    Very nice John! I also have several kits in the stash I need to get busy on. One Revell and a Hasegawa. I’d love to pick up a Hasegawa K, but those seem to be far and few available these days. Fetching a premium. oh, and I forgot about the Trumpeter B I have as well. I know a lot of guys complain that it’s all wrong, but it looks good enough for me. Not spending Great Wall money on a kit.

    Dagnabbit!! Just when you think you did something right and ready to move on I see bad pitting in the canopy resin edge and bad body work just below it. Back to sanding and putty.

    Yes. The thicker lacquers like Tamiya and Mr. Color are perfect for small parts. MRP comes pre-thinned for airbrushing.

    Pretty cool Mark. My son just told me this morning he got his Ft. Cavazos assignment (formally known as Ft. Hood) in Texas. He’s in Captains Career school right now, but he’s going to be in charge of Patriot Missile units this fall.

    Saw these mentioned on Hyperscale the other day. Guys that have the God Hand flush cutters were saying they’re the same. But they were only $16 on Amazon.

    Lightning Deal!

    Those Honda pumps are funny. We did a timing belt job on our old Odyssey many years back. A week later, the pump started acting just like you described. I asked the service manager if it could have been related to them working on it. (LOL, like they would admit they screwed up) But as he told me, they go bad like someone flipped a switch.

    Fingers crossed it’s either a pump or lines. Those racks aren’t cheap.

    I may or may not have “fallen asleep” At a Metallica concert back in the day. So far back they were the pre band for Iron Maiden. Hey, it was a long road trip and there was lots of “PJ” being served up in the back seat.

    Oh man, tough call for me since both are beautiful builds! I would have to do both! You know, that “do both” gets me in a lot of trouble with multiple kits in the stash. 😱
  19. ScottsGT
    Yea, it’s a pretty detailed kit. Lots of 3D high res printed parts, PE and about a half dozen clear resin parts. Call me nuts, but I might light this one somehow. After opening it up and inspecting, I can now justify the $180 price tag.

    You must be talking about the old black and whites? Man, watching those now is hysterical. Flash’s rocket ship hanging by strings with a sparkler lit in the engine out back. If you have time, go check out the 1980 version. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080745/ Now I know when I start to build this I’m gonna have to watch it over and over like I did with “Final Countdown” when I built the F-14.

    Queen killed it with that movie!

    Here’s a “What in the hell did I just do?” moment. Been wanting this kit ever since it was announced. I finally pulled the trigger over the weekend. Yea, Flash Gordon was one of my favorites cheesy movies back in the day. Couldn’t help myself. Like the resin Cutlass isn’t kicking my butt big time already, I buy another resin kit that’s covered in PE. Again, it was meant to be since the wife is at work for delivery! Now I need to locate a Tamiya F-16 stand. This thing comes without any stand.

    Had a friend years ago that had that same Galaxy with a factory 428 Cobra Jet and a top loader 4 speed. Now that was a rare find.
  24. ScottsGT
    Sweet! Thinking about one for my ‘15 when the U joints and center bearing starts to go.
  25. ScottsGT
    Yea, I guess you’re right. Eat the Trumpeter and you would be hungry again an hour later.
